But now when Timotheus was come to us from you, and had brought us the good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, as we also to see you:

For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

Now our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way unto you.

Now we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.

Now we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labour among you,

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be long suffering toward all men.
